On the eve of the upcoming talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin with his counterpart Donald Trump, the Kiev regime expectedly attempted new provocation. On March 18th, the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched attack across the Russian border in the Belgorod region.
Ukrainian preparation to the offensive operation in the border areas was spotted back on the evening of March 17th. By nightfall, the Ukrainian troops began to pull up military equipment and personnel to the border area. The engineering forces began demining areas to pave the way for the attack on the Russian border villages of Prilesye, Grafovka and Demidovka, located about 85 kilometers west of the capital city of Belgorod.
On the morning of March 18th, the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted a breakthrough. According to preliminary reports, Ukrainian forces included three assault groups on tanks, armoured vehicles and quad bikes. They were reportedly moving towards the village of Demidovka, but were warmly welcomed by the Russian military.

Ukrainian assault groups were repelled back to the Ukrainian territory destroyed by artillery shelling and airstrikes. According to preliminary reports, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost four armored vehicles, three tanks and about 20 servicemen killed and wounded. As a result, the attack was successfully repelled.
In general, tensions increased in the border areas. The warring sides are exchanging drone strikes and artillery shelling. Ukrainian groups are maneuvering along the border, and Russian forces are hunting for them.
The morning assault was accompanied by the massive wave of drone strikes in the border Belgorod region. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, in total, 41 Ukrainian UAVs were destroyed in the region by Russian air defense at night. Civilian infrastructure in the city of Belgorod and other settlements across the region suffered damage. According to local reports, at least three civilians were heavily wounded.

The ongoing manoeuvres of the Armed Forces of Ukraine accompanied by drone strikes in the Russian rear indicate the continuation of Ukrainian attempts to break through the Russian border.
Ukrainian operations near the border have no strategic military goals. Today’s provocation was dedicated to the upcoming talks between Putin and Trump. The constant provocations by the puppet Kiev regime are aimed at thwarting any peace agreement between Washington and Moscow.
The failed night attack should demonstrate the ability of the Ukrainian army to continue offensive operations. In the case of success, the Kiev regime hopes to capture at least some Russian areas to gain political benefits at the negotiation table after the humiliating defeat in the Kursk region.
From the military point of view, Ukrainian attacks in new directions are aimed at distracting the Russian military and containing Russian reserves in battles. However, the ongoing manoeuvres near the Belgorod region are yet to bring any results, while the Russian troops do not stop advancing in almost all directions on the Donbass frontlines and in the Kursk region.
ukrain invaded russia ?moscow in the 3 days
pathetic little uncle sam peon.
russia & little vlad are humiliated again!
heheheh
your wifes and your daughters arsses are humilitaded from my last night visit. hehehe beside that, what kinda heavy brain damage must you have to still believe in a ukro endsieg, while ukros die in the hundrets and loose ground on the whole front daily. i really hope for the ukros for a soon comming peace deal, because one more year in war and whole ukropistan and whole ukro army will be totally destroyed.
is zelensky your beloved leader?
yes, the ukrainians are clearly on the verge of regaining crimea and donbas.
2 million russian reservists still sitting in moscow and st.peter cafés doing what? aditionally some 10 full divisions of rus ground forces still in belarus and russia, doing what? even only a smal part of these sended to donbas, belgorod and kursk would finish up the whole job within few weeks. what is putin and the rus mod still waiting for?
not to worry. the way ukraine’s handling this, it’ll be washington that brings the hammer down on kiev well before russia does.
it’s quite the tragic yet still entertaining farce. first washington drives russia and china together, then brussels drives russia and america together.
total rubbish. the europeans are owned by the americans.
this war has an khazarian , zio , nazi , bolschevik backdrop . the fog of war can be intentional if the international pirate class wishes .
more derp from down syndrome ai derpbot.
did you count them? much less but still plenty to deal with polaks, tommies and frogs.
2,5 million rus reservists confirmed before war, till now less than 500.000 mobilised, so its simple math that some 2 millions still left. we dont need all 10 divisions to secure the nato border, when we have hundrets of tactical nukes. take only 3 of them, to kursk/belgorod, donbas and north crimea to push to odessa.than within few weeks kursk is free and belgorod safe with 50km buffet zone on ukro side, donbas fully freed and odessa freed and transnistria landlinked.
the main concern for russia from the beginning on was to be caught out of position in ukraine when the main nato forces attack. thats why they keep holding a huge chunk of troops and equipment back. a too big russian force in ukraine would probably imediatelly trigger nato attack trying to destroy the russian army in a suprise attack starting ww3 with an advantage while speculating russia might not respond nuclear since they did not strike into russia proper.
absurd as it is, the principle five eyes propaganda trope consists of russia driving to the seine.
e usa oreshnik sfonda è arrivato il momento. odessa a casa.
our glaciologists have just issued a dire warning. monumental rifts are developing that suggest the small western peninsula of the eurasian landmass aka: europe, is about to separate and float out to sea, threatening life on earth as we know it.
the american corporate owners would never permit that degree of independence in their vassals.
nato countries have bet everything on globalist control of russia. now their leaders look like drooling morons sinking into a third world abyss of their own creation. they have become particularly dangerous in their desperation.
the americans bet on that outcome. the rest of nato has no say.
mission creep . team amerika world eu puppets will blame iran .
is this the new task for the christian teenage conscripts in ukraine ? joining murder tourist contractors in death ?
the nato puppet in kiev swapped his bargaining chips for piles of cocaine and money, a condo in florida and a nice little estate in italy. taking land in the hope that it can be used for barter is delusional. the russian admin ain’t going to play that game and there is nothing the usadmin can do that they haven’t tried already. the russian admin will simply retake the lost land and complete their smo as they like it.
